The director may have cut the scene because if that Shinigami was Light, that would be a plot hole, regarding the fact that all humans go to MU/nothingness after death. This means that this scene cannot be applied to the plot of the anime.
#Death note rules end episode pro#
The video that Pro sourced was a deleted scene/director's cut from the anime. Every human is equal in death, no exceptions. Since Light was human, that rule also applies to him. The 3rd rule stated that all humans are equal in death, such that every human will go neither to Heaven or Hell after death. All humans are equal in death.Ĥ) Once dead, they can never come back to life. Many who don't believe in the after-life can understand this.ġ) All humans, without exception, will eventually die.Ģ) When they die they go to MU (nothingness).ģ) All humans, no matter what they do in life, will go to the same place after they die. This means that Death Note users and non-Death Note enter a mental state of nothingness when they die. What the 8th rule really implies, is that there's no afrlteife, meaning that there's no Heaven or Hell. However, rule number eight of the Death Note does not mean that the user of the Death Note has a chance to go to the Shinigami realm when they die.
I am an avid Death Note fan myself.įirstly, Pro asserts that Light became a Shinigami after his death because the 8th rule of the Death Note states that: "The human who uses the notebook can neither go to Heaven nor Hell," meaning that he went to the Shiigami realm when he died. I would like to thank BillBonJovi for the debate. If it wasn't meant to be Light Yagami then the Death Note anime makers wouldn't have given it all those Light Yagami features. That fact that it has all those Light Yagami features means the Death Note Anime makers intended to make this Shinigami to be the reincarnation of Light Yagami. Now it can't be co-incidence that this is just another ordinary Shinigami. The Shinigami sports a messenger bag almost identical to the one Light often carried with him in Season One. If he is the reincarnation of Light, he knows how the story ends and does not want or need to hear about it. The Unnamed Shinigami does not stay to hear the end of Ryuk's story, yet he is very interested about the human world. The Shinigami's mouth is shaped like Light's "Kira" smile. The limp displayed while walking up the stairs is similar to the way Light limped out of the warehouse as seen in the Anime. He carries a scythe, similar to how Light does in some pieces of artwork. The red eyes that in the anime shows Light's 'Kira' personality.
The fact that Ryuk says "Light" after the Unnamed Shinigami leaves.
The fact that he inexplicably knows Ryuk's love for apples without asking the other Shinigami. The Shinigami walks into a bright flash of light at the top of the stairs. A red tie (which looks like Light's) is wrapped around the Shinigami's head. The way he tosses the apple to Ryuk, as Light did when alive. He walks up stairs to meet Ryuk, which could be seen as a subtle reference to Light's death in the Anime. The coat he wears looks very similar to the one Light was wearing when he died. This is due to the following pieces of evidence (that can be seen in the video reference above): This Shinigami must be the reincarnation of Light Yagami. In the Death Note Anime film Death Note Relight 1: Visions of a God, an unnamed Shinigami meets Ryuk and asks him to tell his story about when he went to the human world. Light Yagami got reincarnated as a Shinigami after his Death and because the 8th rule of the Death note says "The human who uses the notebook can neither go to Heaven nor Hell." That suggested they can go to the Shinigami realm.
